- How To Begin Your Fiction: Classic Sentence Openers
By: marciano guerrero | - Let philosophers look for the substance that underlies all of creation. Let mathematicians and physicists construct axioms and build a cosmos and so interpret reality. Let linguists search for the Adamic language-but let master writers be free.

- Tips On Writing A Romance Novel
By: David Urmann | - A romance novel or story is anything that revolves around matters of the heart, relationships and the like. Perhaps some of the greatest novels in the history may or may not be a true story. Most of these written are fiction and perceived by the authors imagination.

- How To Create Compelling Characters That Stand Out
By: George Hutton | - One thing that sets breathtakingly gripping novels apart from the rest is solid characters. Sure, the overall plot and story line is important, but a character can really drive a story into the minds of millions. There's a reason why so many successful novelists write novel after novel with the same character in different adventures.
A strong character is somebody that the reader can identify with. A character has traits that separate him or her from the rest of the hacks, but at ...

- Writing A Novel - Punctuation To Use Sparingly Or Not At All
By: Robert L. Bacon | - Many editors agree that an exclamation point is one medium for emphasis should be used sparingly. And some experts feel that exclamation points are the sign of a lazy writer, or worse--an amateur. Whether the rationale for either opinion is sound or not, there are well-grounded reasons for both.
An Exclamation Point can Support Lazy Telling and not Energetic Showing
To explore the first assumption, this forces the consideration of Showing versus Telling from yet a ...

By: David Silva | - In the Story Concept section of our discussion on how to write a novel, we developed a basic one-sentence statement for our novel concept. Something similar to:
When a middle-aged ad man who's been coasting on his early success for years suddenly finds himself competing with a new, up-and-comer, he wages a life-or-death game of wits with his competition.
At this point, the idea will still be a little sketchy in your mind. Don't let that worry you. Go a head and exp ...

By: Philip Spires | - The Colonels Last Wicket by G V Rama Rao is a delightful novel that uses scenarios and technicalities drawn from cricket to add poignancy to a gentle but moving story. This is not a book about cricket. Its a book about people, about their development, their motivation and their identity. At the plots core are Colonel Seth and Raju, the former a retired, decorated Indian Army officer. He is a widower, proud of his successful daughters, but still suffers a little when he contemplates what ...

- A Review Of A Room At The Top By John Braine
By: Philip Spires | - It's fifty years since A Room At The Top first appeared. Against a backdrop of post-war Britain, a period when people really did believe that a new future, a different kind of society was just around the corner, Joe Lampton, born January 1921, aspired to social and economic elevation. Though competent and already promoted, as a local government officer in a grubby northern English town, with spare time interests in amateur dramatics, cigarettes and beer, even he himself rated his prospects ...

- A Review Of The Waterfall By Margaret Drabble
By: Philip Spires | - It's almost 40 years since Margaret Drabble published The Waterfall, a novel, therefore, of the swinging, liberal, liberated sixties. The scenario is simple. Jan and Malcolm and Lucy and James are two (heterosexual) couples. Then Jane initiates a shuffle of the cards and has an affair with James. By 2007 standards, this might provide enough material for page one of a contemporary inter-relationship novel. In Margaret Drabble's hands it is more than enough to sustain a substantial book. ...

By: Philip Spires | - Disgrace is a novel of a man's, even a family's decline. David Lurie is a university teacher, the kind of teacher who was at home with academic material that current course requirements no longer demand. He is also divorced, twice, and even on his best form he has to grapple with the trials and tribulations that his frayed life and career present.
He needs regular sex and visits a prostitute with regularity, always the same one, and harbours suspicions that he provides h ...

- A Question Of Upbringing By Anthony Powell
By: Philip Spires | - Anthony Powell's A Question of Upbringing is the first part of his mammoth twelve novel epic A Dance to the Music of Time. He writes with wit, humour and not a little sarcasm, describing a quintessential Englishness that perhaps was never representative of the society and has, arguably, disappeared. He wrote this first volume in 1951 and, though the book starts with a London scene from that era, the majority of the book deals with the characters' school and university exp ...

literary accolades, went into translations, and got a film option. A writing grant was

- A Million Would Be Nice By Ken Scott
By: Philip Spires | - I don't read many books that claim membership of a genre. In my humble opinion, a work of fiction should aspire to create its own world, describe it, communicate it and then live in it. I want a book's characters to inhabit the events that are portrayed, events that are clearly influenced by the character's presence, but which are also usually bigger than any individual's contribution. Wars don't exist unless people fight them. Crimes are not committed without criminals. ...

- A Reflection On Saville By David Storey And A Bit Of Rugby League
By: Philip Spires | - Saville won the Booker Prize in 1976. In such a vast novel it is inevitable that the pace will occasionally quicken and slacken, but a book like this can be read over weeks, almost dipped into as the passing phases of Colin's life unfold. David Story was born in Wakefield, and so was I. It could be argued that his most famous and perhaps still most successful work is This Sporting Life, a portrait of a Rugby League player who achieves local fame and then notoriety as his life and car ...

Enter Michael, dishevelled and panting. His movements are hurried, agitated and anxious. The kitchen door creaks on its hinges after his disinterested push. It does not close and it swings ajar behind him. In an instant, Michael has crossed the room as if out of a desire to distance himself from some pursuer, but now he is cornered. He stops, thinks for a moment and, realising the futility of trying to run ...

- The History Of The Harlequin Romance Novel
By: Samantha Kay | - Romance novels have long been associated with a guilty pleasure covertly enjoyed by women who hide behind their sunglasses on the beach or under the covers on a lazy weekend afternoon. Novels such as these glorify the fantasy of falling in love elevating the "knight in shining armor" to a level of grandeur never to be experienced by mortal men; bulging biceps, mysterious eyes, and desirable lips the men of the romance novel are entrusted to sweep the heroine of the book off of her proverbial ...

But weren't you ever taught not to judge a book by its cover? A romance novel, with the pen of a gifted writer, can be so much more than that.
